E3 2017: Zelda: Breath of the Wild DLC Details, Release Date Revealed

At the Nintendo Spotlight event today, Nintendo
revealed new details and release dates for The Legend of Zelda: Breath
of the Wild’s upcoming downloadable expansions.

First, Nintendo revealed that the previously-announced Master Trials DLC
will be released on June 30. As previously revealed, the set includes
the Trial of the Sword (a room-based combat arena), as well as Hero’s
Path (which shows where you’ve traveled on the map), the new Master Mode
hard difficulty, a new Korok mask, and new armor inspired by previous
franchise characters like Tingle, a guard from Phantom Hourglass, and
more.

Next, Nintendo revealed the second expansion for Breath
of the Wild, Champions’ Ballad, which will arrive this holiday. Few
details were revealed, but a teaser showed off Zelda as well as the
game’s four champions, Daruk, Mipha, Revali, and Urbosa.

Breath of the Wild DLC was announced alongside a season pass
back in February. Back then, the second pack was promised to include a
new dungeon and new “original story,” though Nintendo didn’t provide any
additional information today.
